UFC 229: Where to watch the Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov fight in London

1/34
Harry Fletcher3 October 2018

Conor McGregor returns to UFC for the first time since 2016 on Saturday night, taking on Khabib Nurmagomedov in a highly anticpiated lightweight title fight.

McGregor, who converted to boxing to fight Floyd Mayweather in 2017, will face one of the biggest tests of his career when he steps into the Octagan in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately for viewers in the UK, the fight takes place in the early hours of the morning, meaning fans will have to set their alarms for 4am to watch the action.

The timing also means very few venues in London are showing the bout. In fact, the Standard found just two places showing the fight in the capital.

The Clapham Grand is showing the fight on their big screen, but the event has already sold out.

There is, however, one remaining option for MMA fans. Nordic Bar in Fitzrovia is opening late in order to show the fight and a limited number of tickets are still available for the event. Book them here.

Ticket holders must be in the venue by 12.30am. The venue shuts at 5am, although if the fight overruns, the venue will stay open but stop serving drinks at that time.

The bout promises to be one of the biggest in recent UFC history. Nurmagomedov currently holds the lightweight title, which McGregor lost due to his absence from UFC.

The Russian fighter is currently undefeated in 26 professional fights and is currently favourite to win on Saturday night.
